But I'm not sure how feasible that would prove. Remember, you're not only having to lift the fuel (methane) out of Titan's gravity well (which is comparable to Mercury's) but <i>also</i> Saturn's, which is massive. As a trans-system refueling stop, I don't see it as practical. As an inter-Saturnian fuel stop, or a refueling station for an Earth-Saturn loop, it makes significantly more sense.Jayme Lynn Blaschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919766841748858790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-79442405684170353502007-01-05T06:28:00.000-06:002007-01-05T06:28:00.000-06:00I could picture a story where spaceships on long-d...I could picture a story where spaceships on long-distance trips are re-fueled with liquid hydrocarbons (methane, etc.) from Titan...A.R.Yngvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972668378286177600noreply@blogger.com
